Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A collection of essays on the Sublime by Frederick Schiller
The special subject of the greater part of the letters and essays
of Schiller contained in this volume is Aesthetics; and before
passing to any remarks on his treatment of the subject it will be
useful to offer a few observations on the nature of this topic, and
on its treatment by the philosophical spirit of different ages.
First, then, aesthetics has for its object the vast realm of the
beautiful, and it may be most adequately defined as the philosophy
of art or of the fine arts. To some the definition may seem
arbitrary, as excluding the beautiful in nature; but it will cease
to appear so if it is remarked that the beauty which is the work of
art is higher than natural beauty, because it is the offspring of
the mind. Moreover, if, in conformity with a certain school of
modern philosophy, the mind be viewed as the true being, including
all in itself, it must be admitted that beauty is only truly
beautiful when it shares in the nature of mind, and is mind's
offspring. Viewed in this light, the beauty of nature is only a
reflection of the beauty of the mind, only an imperfect beauty,
which as to its essence is included in that of the mind. Nor has it
ever entered into the mind of any thinker to develop the beautiful
in natural objects, so as to convert it into a science and a
system. The field of natural beauty is too uncertain and too
fluctuating for this purpose. Moreover, the relation of beauty in
nature and beauty in art forms a part of the science of aesthetics,
and finds again its proper place.
